Tramp who broke up Christie Brinkley's marriage says she was, "lured and seduced"

NY Daily News.
For those of you from the NY area she will be interviewed on Fox 5 News at 10:00

Quote:

Knockout teen Diana Bianchi. broke her silence yesterday to say Christie Brinkley's philandering hubby lured her to his business with the promise of a doubled salary - then seduced her with feverish fawning.
"I feel like I made a lot of mistakes," the 19-year-old told Fox 5 News. "I feel like I just wasn't thinking straight. I got flattered and caught up in things."

Bianchi, wearing a polo shirt and lip gloss, said she met Peter Cook while working at a Southampton toy store when she was 17 - and that he quickly seized on her vulnerability.

"I needed a job, and he told me he would double my salary," she said of her low-level job at Cook's architecture firm.

"I knew he was married. I mean, there were pictures of his family in his office everywhere. I never expected that he would take it to a different level."

A high-school grad looking to bolt her parents' house and make it as a pop singer, Bianchi apparently was easy prey for a slick Lothario. She described herself as "a little too trusting sometimes."

"He'd make advances toward me at first and then I guess it just escalated to something that I didn't really expect," she said.

"He said he was unhappy, he was looking for something new or different," she told Fox 5 News' Rosanna Scotto. "He said he wished things were different. He wished he were younger or that he had met me at a different time."

Bianchi said Cook never "promised that he would leave" Brinkley, his wife of 10 years.

"I never asked him to leave her for me," she said. "I never was in it for that. I didn't have any kind of intentions like that."

She said Cook, 47, ponied up the down payment last year for her white Nissan Maxima, but "everything has always been in my name because I guess he didn't want any affiliations."

Sources in Southampton said Bianchi also dated her school's handsome star athlete Sean Keckeisen during her liaison with Cook. But the high school sweethearts were separated when Keckeisen left to complete his senior year outside the area.

Keckeisen declined to comment yesterday as he and friends rode surfboards on the Southampton shore.

"She always had [Sean] in her car. It was always her driving out here to see him," said a clerk at a local deli. "They'd hold hands, they'd kiss. She said he was her boyfriend."

Meanwhile, Brinkley, the former wife of singer Billy Joel, remained mum as she tended to her sick mother in California.

The supermodel, still gorgeous at 52, first got wind of Cook's cradle-robbing infidelity when Bianchi's stepdad, a Southampton Village cop, approached her June 25 at Southampton High's commencement ceremony, where she lectured grads on the dangers of global warming.

Bianchi's lawyer Joseph Tacopina said Cook went to great lengths to hide his indiscretion - once driving all the way to Brooklyn to leave a note on her car. Cook also left money for Bianchi in hidden places around Southampton, the lawyer said.

"He'd tell me like if he was going to leave it somewhere for me, but it was never like a scheduled thing," Bianchi said.

Cook did not return calls seeking comment, but his mother said she'd like to see a reconciliation.

"I have heard about it. The whole family supports Peter, and we certainly hope he and Christie get back together again," Jean Cook, 82, told the Daily News.

Bianchi, who's mulling a sexual harassment lawsuit against Cook, also has a hope: That the celebrity scandal doesn't ruin her chances at pop stardom.

There's a pic of her ex boyfriend in the paper and man is he hot.

WTF, what an idiot candyassed liar!

"He'd make advances toward me at first and then I guess it just escalated to something that I didn't really expect,"

He's an asshole for doing this to his wife, but I hope the trollop doesn't get a dime ONLY because I think she's a POS!

Oh please reconcile with my son...he's such a nice boy when he's not being a lying scumbag....

I love how the girl is a tramp, but nothing about what a bastard Cook is for cheating on his wife. He had a wife, he had children, yet it's the girl's fault?

Yes, she shouldn't have involved herself with a married man, but why are people so quick to blame the other woman instead of the man who had a commitment?

equallydivided · July 18th, 2006, 09:46 AM

^^^ I think the reason FOR ME is because she's seeking money. Yes, he did a bad thing and I called him an asshole. But to add further insult, she want's to take money from 'the family account' to add insult to injury.

Chalet · July 18th, 2006, 09:48 AM

I agree Laurent. I'm not the blaming type in real life. With stories like this I never blame the other person. Not the best choice she's made in her life of course, but that guy is a stinker. They both knew what they were doing. I'm just glad Christie chose to get out.

Edited to say that the ambulance chaser lawyers are jumping all over this one. She needs to let this go and disappear.

teforde23 · July 18th, 2006, 09:51 AM

It's so much easier to call her a tramp because she's the only one we really know something about. The husband is not saying much and the only one speaking is the mistress. As soon as the hubby says something the title of the threads will all begin "Christies scumbag ex husband". BTW I title the tread tramp who broke up Christies marriage as a play on the previous thread. Kinda like the Drunken Tara Reid threads.

This girl needs to shut up and disappear NOW! The whole 'luring' angle is total bullshit! The statements in her interview above just reek of manipulation. This girl knew exactly what she was doing. The more she speaks, the more her supposed naivete comes off as a blatant attempt for monetary gain. Never, ever would I want to make my career at the expense of someone's family. That's all she'll ever be known for.

And what's with the idiot mother who thinks Peter and Christie should reconcile? What kind of parent would 'support' their son after what he did and then encourage a reconciliation? And we wonder why there are so many family issues in this day and age and people can't seem to make it beyond a few years. These are the kind of people raisking kids! (And, yes, I'm speaking to you too Mr. Policeman, father of Lolita!)

BTW, does anyone else who's seen a picture think she's a 'knockout'? I certainly don't! Christie Brinkley at 52 has it all over this girl. What was Peter thinking?

Go Team Christie!

This chick was on the 'Today' show this morning. Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch it....wonder how it was.
Obviously she is working it, hiring the attorney, going on a media tour.
She'll score some cash too which I personally think is sad.

Chalet · July 18th, 2006, 10:18 AM

He was thinking with one of his two heads. I'll throw in the stereotypical mid-life crisis stupidity clause too.

In that community, he's a high profile guy. You just don't walk into a store and start hitting on the salesperson without knowing that tongues will be wagging. Seems to me as if he didn't care much about losing his family.

LynnieD · July 18th, 2006, 10:20 AM

He thought he could get away with it....he's allegedly done this before.

teforde23 · July 18th, 2006, 10:25 AM

Cant believe i missed the interview. I wonder if youtube has it. I've only seen pics of her so I'll be watching the news tonight to see what she really looks like. I think she's cute but, the papers keep calling her stunning or beautiful. I'm not sure I agree with them on that. I'm also kinda pissed that everytime an article mentions Christie the say "who's still beautiful at 52". As if just because she's older they're stunned that she can still be beautiful.

LynnieD · July 18th, 2006, 10:47 AM

^^I too have only seen pictures of her, not actually 'speaking' or know how she carries herself. But from what I have seen, she is NO Christie Brinkley. And to refer to her as stunning is just feeding this chicks already overly inflated ego.

JamieElizabeth · July 18th, 2006, 12:50 PM

Does anyone have link to show who this girl is?

happy8 · July 18th, 2006, 12:52 PM

I think its pathetic that the media outlets are interviewing her. She knew exactly what she got herself into. She is supposedly an aspiring singer and she will use her 10 minutes of fame to get her name out there. This was not a one time "sexual harassment" event. This went on for over a year. However, because she was Cook's personal assistant it could be considered sexual harassment in the court of law which is downright pathetic given that she consented to all the attention, sex, cars, favors and money. UGH....

Now she claims she's naive... BS!

Dude's an a** as well for what he did, he's a married man so I'm not even going to go on about that.
